so i guess it mexico..........where to start!

my insurance will not cover the sleeve just the rny  nothing else. Anemia runs high in my family adn i really don't want to take the risk plus  i feel better about the sleeve. so where should i start. thanks guys!

Just my suggestion, but don't use a middle-man service like Medical Tourism.  They add on a hefty fee and really didn't do too much other than send a list of docs, locations, and rely some emails from the doctors' coordinators to me.

At the top of this page just under SEARCH is a link to Bariatric Surgeons.  Give that a try.  Once you look through that list, you may want to try getting in touch with their staff for more information.  After that and you start narrowing your surgeon list down, post and ask specifically about the doctor.  You will get some fabulous (and maybe some not!) feedback from other members.  You may want to try posting on the VSG forum as well.

Good luck.  I am just over 5 weeks out from my VSG (done in Mexico) and I feel fabulous.  No problems whatsoever.

I went to Monterrey, Mexico in January for my surgery. Since then I've lost 58 pounds and feel fabulous! I had my surgery done by Dr. Zapata - a wonderful man and surgeon. Check him out...website is www.ready4achange.com.

thanks guys!

Here's the website for Dr.Ungson. I'm going to see him next month.  I've heard lots of good things about him.

I used Dr. Jose Rodriguez.  He was the only doctor that does his own financing that I could find.  It costs $9400 total.  I put some money down and make payments on the rest.  It was the only way I was able to get it done and I am so happy now!!

Did you go through belight or straight through Dr. Rodriguez?  Thanks!

Everything is done through beliteweight.  They don't charge you they are just kind of like his office staff so to speak.  They handle everything including getting the financial paperwork set up.  The only thing they don't do is schedule the flight.

thanks guys. i'm 3000 shy from what i need......i rather save i'm a student and between my bf and me well let just say  i already have enough loans so it probably be november befor i get it done thanks guys!
